--- Comment #7 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu)

Rafael, what do you think? I feel like this could be simplified to just
"population".

The string exists in OOo 3.3, but doesn't mean anything to me either, and an
online search seems to confirms that it does not have any special meaning in
stats.

Elsewhere:
- MS Excel uses "a sample of a population"[1][2].
- Google Docs only says it's a sample without having to mention "from a
population". (Only uses "population" to refer to other functions that consider
the whole population instead of a sample.)[2]
